RBSG 2004 on tap: Murky orange with a rocky white head. Fruity aroma with oranges and grapefruit. Starts and ends both sweet and bitter, full creamy body.

On tap at a local Red Robin (yeah a burger and brew is okay now and then!). Was very supprised by this one. It’s off in it’s own direction. Found it really hard to catagerize. Nutty, earthy, anything but light or simple. This is one I’ll have to go back to a few times to truely understand. But I think I know from my first try, I liked it!

Tap@The Virginia Inn, Seattle. Buttery, nutty malts, also a bit cakey (not sweet). Some tropical fruit and apricot. Nicely soft texture, bitter finish, a lovely drink.

Pours a hazy brown with a large creamy white head. Great lacing. Aroma of citrus hops, oranges and grapefruit. Nice spiciness there as well, I’m thinking cinnamon. Flavors are very similar. The orange is bit more prevelant. Malts come out a touch more along with the hops. Very nice indeed. The palate is smooth and spicy. I like it. Finish of alcohol laced bitterness.

This was a decent brew that I tried at a bar. I wasn't overly impressed, almost tasted like a heffeweizen. But a good micro when you need one

Nice yeasty, full bodied, amber that fills the tummy and has plenty of hop and malt flavor-superb balance. Drink many of these if you can, but they are quite filling. Nice brew.

Draft. Cloudy amber-chestnut color with a small white head that left nice lacing. Mild aroma of fine tea, light malts and citrus with a spicy sweetness. Sweet flavor with a full-mouth bitter bite, cinnamon and allspice with a lingering astringent finish on the back of the tongue. Full body, mild carbonation. Nice treat!

tiny bobbles, soft, dense uniform creamy top. Cloudy amber body. Mildly floral, light grainy notes mingle with a citrus hop bite, then builds to a sweet floral and light caramel flavor. finishes clean and crisp. a bit more pronounced malt profile would be awesome to me. Creamier and sweeter as it warmed, showing more of that malt aspect.
